Grindetti’s chicane, after the words of Patricia Bullrich and the controversy over the SAD: “I want Independiente to buy Chelsea”

Néstor Grindetti, president of Independenthe talked about his 2023 and left nothing aside for 2024. The elections, the hiring of Carlos Tevez, the current affairs of the club, the DNU of president Javier Milei and even Patricia Bullrich’s sentence which a good part of Avellaneda talked about. Here, one by one, all the topics touched on by the president.

The financial situation of the club

“Independiente is financially balanced”, Grindetti responded when asked about the club’s current financial situation. However, the Miter 470 team still has outstanding numbers: “We are left with the debt of the past”.

But how much does the club really owe? “Seven million dollars expiring in 2024”, the president commented regarding the debt. He also assured that the club has balanced results month after month, which is good news for Rojo. But the bad news… “The problem is that the underlying issue has not been resolved,” he added.

For the fans’ peace of mind, he clarified that they are in continuous negotiations on the debt. They are also trying to raise funds through the sale of players and a possible stadium sponsor.

Independent transfer market

In turn, the club president was consulted on the transfer market. There are four signings from Independiente so far: Gabriel Ávalos, Ignacio Maestro Puch, Alex Luna and Adrián Sporle.

“We are satisfied with the market,” he said of the transfer timing. He was also consulted on a former player of the club, Alan Franco. “Things are going well with him. The problem is that the Brazilian club ends up selling him. We are negotiating”, he clarified on the situation. He also mentioned the fact that all transfers made so far are within the club’s financial means.

The president clarified that the additions were requested by the coach himself, Carlos Tévez. In this way it ensured its compliance with the marketand the club did everything possible within the possibilities available.

2024 goals

“A lot of effort has been made where we come from and where we are,” Papa Rojo said. The credit went to everyone: from the managers and technical staff, to the fans and members. “The goal is clearly to win a tournament. I think we are there, that we have the possibilities”, were Grindetti’s words.

The news from Tevez

“When I met him, he shocked me right away.” And you spoke of the serenity and maturity that you possess for someone your age. “Carlos places a lot of importance on the values ​​of friendship, family and camaraderie, and passes them on to the players,” he said of Tévez, who has become an important reference for the club.

“Today Independiente fans feel represented with Tevez”, he clarified. And he also clarified his salary and his past at Boca: “Neither Macri nor Angelici imposed Tevez on me”.

Sports and independent joint-stock companies

Perhaps the topic of the moment after Milei’s DNU for football was SAD, and Grindetti clarified his position on the topic: “If any club wants to be a joint-stock company and its members too, let it do so”.

But in Avellaneda the case is different. “In Independiente it is prohibited by law from being a joint-stock company.“, She said.

For this reason he underlined the need to seek financing through other channels, such as trusts. He assured that if the clubs do not seek funding, “the Brazilians will surpass us.” And he condemned: “Whoever wants to do it, but at Independiente it is forbidden.”

He also clarified that President Javier Milei and his decree are legitimate and that the implementation was done in a constitutional manner. At the same time he assures his position on the SAD: “I would not have mentioned joint-stock companies.”

About the sayings of Patricia Bullrich

“I’m sad because Chelsea wants to buy six clubs and didn’t include Independiente”, launched the Security Minister a few days ago in a dialogue with LN+. Néstor Grindetti responded to Bullrich, also a Red fan, and assured, with a certain irony, that what he wants “is that Independiente buys Chelsea.”

“I don’t regret in any way that Chelsea didn’t buy us,” he clarified. In this way we will be able to see the politician’s great intentions with Independiente, and try to bring him to the top.

The possible return of the visiting public

Considering the political background of Nestor Grindetti, candidate for various political offices and current Chief of Cabinet of Ministers of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, he was consulted on a possible return of visitors.
